Aside from the fact that I am nocturnal, growl at my friends and believe that I am part pirate, I'm just your regular teenager.

Got a question? Fire away! I'll answer almost anything you give me, unless I simply don't know what to do, or if I think you're just taking the mickey.

Okay?

I have been friends with Lauren since Kindergarden. We've always been close and I've ignored the fact that she's really geeky. Now, im in 7th grade and I'm starting to be really concious of it. Shes so embarassing!! Her nails look like a witch's and she won't let me cut them. I've been trying to slowly ignore her, but since we've been close since forever its hard to pull away. I know she won't let go of me. I'm her ONLY good friend. Tonight is the football game and I don't want to go with her even though she invited me. I want to go with my other best friend. Number one: How can I pull away from her? Number two: What should I do about the game tonight?? (link)
There was one word that stuck in my head when I read your question, and that word was 'SELFISH.'

Maybe she thinks YOU are geeky, or perhaps theres something about you that annoys her? She's not selfish enough however, to ditch her best friend and be ashamed of her.

Think about this, you've known her since KINDERGARTEN and now you're in 7th grade? That's an awfully long time, and it would be a shame to see such a great friendship go to waste.

Don't ditch her tonight, SHE invited YOU. Without HER, you'd probably be sitting at home doing nothing.

I can understand that perhaps you guys need time apart and to make new friends, but you shouldn't completely cut her out.

Maybe hang around with some new friends without her, but do something together at least once a week, so she doesn't feel like you've ditched her.

Who knows, perhaps she'll find some new friends too and then she won't be around so much.

Thanks for the advice. YOu're right maybe I am being a little selfish. I hope this is just a phase!!
